This paper presents a simple algorithm and compact sensor for localization of magnetic dipole. First, we derive an explicit formula, where the dipole position, irrespective its posture, is directly reconstructed from field spatial gradient tensor. Then, develop unit consisting three orthogonal loop coils, planar gradiometers, coaxial measuring field, nondiagonal, diagonal components tensor, respectively. Localization experiments are conducted, maximum error about 7 mm when source-sensor...
Quasicrystals (QCs), first discovered in 1984, generally do not exhibit long-range magnetic order. Here, we report on order the real icosahedral quasicrystals (i QCs) Au–Ga–Gd and Au–Ga–Tb. The Au65Ga20Gd15 i QC exhibits a ferromagnetic transition at TC = 23 K, manifested as sharp anomaly both susceptibility specific heat measurements, along with an appearance of Bragg peak below TC.

We discover the experimental case of a quantum valence criticality leading to breakdown Fermi liquid state.
We report the observation of antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions in 1/1 and 2/1 quasicrystal approximants having slightly different electron-per-atom $(e/a)$ ratios, same Au-Ga-Eu system, at N\'eel temperatures 7.0 8.5 K, respectively. This clearly demonstrates that an order survives when degree approximation to quasicrystals is raised provided $e/a$ ratio kept nearly same. Since, unlike approximant, approximant has all building blocks necessary for construction quasicrystal, this finding...
